Indian Head Massage

Indian Head Massage, also known under the trademarked term Champissage, is an alternative medicine massage therapy in which the head, neck and face and facial areas are massaged with the purpose of manipulating energy channels. The goal is to clear blocks in these energy channels that cause a build-up of negative energy that are purported to cause ailments. The belief is when the energy does not flow properly, negative energy builds up, causing common ailments, including stress, pain and nociception pains and aches, and baldness or hairloss. Champissage is practiced all over Europe. Champissage is a modern term for what is commonly known as Indian Head Massage. Indian head massage was brought to the west by Narendra Mehta in the 1970's.
